v1.0 (2026-05-23) · Nevada soils are highly alkaline; lime is not needed. UNR Extension explicitly: 'UNCE does not have a certified lab for soil analyses.' UNR's published 'Nevada Soil Amendment Myths' (PubID=3067) directly addresses why liming is a common new-gardener mistake. Northern Nevada soils are alkaline (pH > 7); southern Nevada (Mojave) is highly alkaline (pH 8+). Liming would worsen, not help, almost all Nevada soils.
This source publishes a state method — its crop-specific rate tables are maintained in the extension bulletin rather than a fixed crop list, so Zone Forge doesn't claim a crop set here.
Alkaline-region advisory. Zone Forge follows the state's extension guidance that lime is rarely needed on these alkaline soils.
